Book Review - Flesh and Bone - Jefferson Bass

92145
Title:  Flesh and Bone
Author: JeffersonBass
Review:  A crime novel that comes closer to the truth of real criminal investigations than anything I have read recently. Takes place in eastern Tennessee which only served to increase my interest as it shunned the usual big city approach to such stories. My interest and attention was peaked in the first few pages and did not wane. I truly enjoyed this book and will read more by these two writers. Giving this book five stars and I still think I am shortchanging it with my rating.

Thanks Frank for this review.

Why I Read this Title:  At a bag sale

Synopsis:   Anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton founded Tennessee's world-famous Body Farm—a small piece of land where corpses are left to decay in order to gain important forensic information. Now, in the wake of a shocking crime in nearby Chattanooga, he's called upon by Jess Carter—the rising star of the state's medical examiners—to help her unravel a murderous puzzle. But after re-creating the death scene at the Body Farm, Brockton discovers his career, reputation, and life are in dire jeopardy when a second, unexplained corpse appears in the grisly setting.

Accused of a horrific crime—transformed overnight from a respected professor to a hated and feared pariah—Bill Brockton will need every ounce of his formidable forensic skills to escape the ingeniously woven net that's tightening around him . . . and to prove the seemingly impossible: his own innocence
